LAWRENCE, Kan. — Within the span of three first-quarter snaps, Terrell Chestnut jarred loose a Kansas fumble and plucked a pick-six, staking West Virginia to a two-score lead within the opening 4 minutes.
“From that point on we looked like sharks on both sides of the ball,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said. “It was a feeding frenzy.”
The Mountaineers fed plenty during a 49-0 victory that marked their second shutout of the season, but their first in the Big 12 after 34 games.
It began inauspiciously: Kansas receiver Tre Parmalee running free for a 23-yard catch down the seam.
